Systems Analyst Programmer​/Audio​/Video Programmer; Senior

Description

Position:
Systems Analyst Programmer/Audio/Video Programmer (Senior)

Location:

Office or Remote (Pentagon & Mark Center)

Clearance:
Active Secret, TS is desirable

Systems Analyst Programmer/Audio/Video Programmer (Senior):
Highly specialized, senior-level technical professional responsible for designing, developing, and deploying the software and control logic that underpins complex, integrated audio/video systems. This hybrid role requires a deep understanding of both high-level systems analysis and low-level programming for AV hardware.

This position moves beyond standard AV setup and troubleshooting to focus on creating the customized software and automated workflows that make sophisticated AV systems functional, intuitive, and reliable.

Systems Analysis & Design:
Analyze client needs and business requirements to design control system functionalities and user interfaces (UIs). Translate complex user requirements into a technical framework, including signal flow, logic patterns, and system architecture. Create detailed documentation, schematics, and flowcharts for the programming team or for personal development use.

AV Control System Programming:
Develop, test, and deploy custom code for control systems like Crestron (using SIMPL, SIMPL+, C# for .AV Framework) and AMX (Net Linx). Program Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) from manufacturers like Biamp (Tesira) and QSC (Q-SYS) using their proprietary software environments, often involving visual programming and scripting (Lua).

Software & API Integration:
Integrate AV systems with other enterprise platforms through API development and scripting. This includes connecting with unified communications (UC) platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom), building management systems (lighting, shades), and other third-party services. Develop custom drivers for devices not natively supported by the control system.

User Interface (UI) Development:
Design and program intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for touch panels, mobile devices, and web-based control. Ensure the user experience (UX) is seamless, logical, and meets client expectations.

Senior-Level Oversight & Mentoring:
Lead and mentor junior programmers, providing code reviews, technical guidance, and best-practice enforcement. Act as the final point of escalation for the most complex programming and integration challenges that other technicians or engineers cannot solve. Establish and maintain programming standards and templates for the organization.

Commissioning & Support:
Perform final system commissioning to ensure the programmed logic works flawlessly with the physical hardware. Provide high-level, remote and on-site support to diagnose and resolve bugs or system failures.

• Expert-Level Programming Proficiency:
  Mastery of control system programming is non-negotiable. This includes:
• Crestron: C#, SIMPL Windows, SIMPL+, VT Pro-e. Crestron certification (Master Certified Programmer) is highly desirable.
• AMX:
  Net Linx Studio.
• QSC Q-SYS:
  Expertise in the Q-SYS environment, including scripting in Lua.
• Biamp Tesira:
  Deep knowledge of the Tesira software platform.
• Web and Scripting Technologies:
  Proficiency in languages like Python, C#, or JavaScript for API integrations and custom application development.
• Networking Expertise: A thorough understanding of IP networking, including multicast, QoS, and AV over IP protocols (e.g., Dante, AVB, NDI).
• Systems Thinking:
  The ability to see the "big picture" and understand how all components of an integrated system interact, from hardware to software to the end-user.
• Problem-Solving:
  Elite-level diagnostic and troubleshooting skills to rapidly identify the root cause of complex software and hardware issues.
• Experience:
  
  Typically 7-10+ years of dedicated experience in AV programming, with a portfolio of successful, complex projects.
